After Brooks surrendered, he didn't get much attention from Li Tianhao, in Li Tianhao's opinion, Brooks was a sharpshooter and a good tactical commander, which he could feel in previous encounters, but these did not attract much attention from Li Tianhao, after all, there were many talents in the Dils army, and Brooks's talent was not very outstanding, so Li Tianhao was very polite to him, but he was not entrusted with a heavy task, but he was only asked to be responsible for the adaptation and training of Yaji's soldiers.

The first person to tell Li Tianhao that Brooks was not ordinary was Xenas.

After the war, Cernas had nothing to do. In addition to the daily training of the mercenary group, his daily destination was the tavern, and his group of subordinates who had nothing to do often accompanied him, so in just twenty days they staged thirty group fights. In these thirty gang assaults, Xenas discovered that Brooks had actually been involved in as many as twenty-two times.

In the group fight, Senas who drank too much alcohol was inevitably punched or doubled, and Xenas never saw Brooks get hurt at all, and every time he knocked someone down, and the other person's fist didn't touch his side at all. When Xenas found out about this, he observed it, and realized that Brooks was not only agile and good at dodging other people's attacks, but also chose the timing of his attacks very critically, always knocking down a person with one blow at a time, and then quickly finding a vantage point to dodge in search of new opportunities. What's more, he was very sensitive to the timing of his retreat, and every time the vigilante soldiers arrived to stop the fight, Brooks had already fled, leaving only the wounded and others lying on the ground.

For Brooks' fighting skills. Senas praised it. In his opinion, Brooks is a calm and ferocious martial arts specialist. Although he is not necessarily strong in one-on-one combat, he has a talent for analyzing situations and taking effective measures. Li Tianhao also became interested in this person after hearing this. It was at this time. An incident occurred that caused Brooks to attract the attention of Li Tianhao.

The cause of the matter was due to a civil case. A civilian woman was raped by a Palchi soldier while praying outside the temple of Ra. It would have been difficult to completely prohibit this kind of thing in the military, after all, soldiers who have been fighting for a long time without a female companion are prone to make such mistakes. However, the problem lies in the location of the crime, the local residents believe that the Parchi soldier who believes in the god Amun is deliberately insulting the believers of the god Ra in front of the god Ra, which is a serious ungodly act, so they become agitated, and the residents of the occupied area take this opportunity to vent their inner dissatisfaction, if this kind of incident is not handled properly, it can easily turn into a large-scale resident riot, so Li Tianhao attaches great importance to this.

Originally, the problem of religious conflict was very strange to Li Tianhao. As a man who has sailed the seas for many years. In the face of unpredictable wind and rain, it is often very superstitious. But Li Tianhao is not this kind of person, he believes that with his sailing skills, he can completely avoid unpredictable storms. However, he also saw all kinds of sailors of different faiths, and on his ship, each faith was fully respected and preserved, and no sailor would conflict with another sailor because of his faith, so it was strange for Li Tianhao to think that this small matter could turn into a religious conflict. Since there was a problem, it had to be solved, but the result was before Li came forward to solve the matter. Someone took care of this matter. And this person turned out to be Brooks.

It is reasonable to say that Brooks has no authority to deal with this incident at all, and the only thing that can be related to this matter is that his station is relatively close. As a result, Brooks rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and after understanding the situation, he rushed into the Palch barracks with Yaqui's soldiers and took control of the commander there. Then he directly arrested the soldier who committed the crime and returned to the place where the crime occurred. Brooks then executed the soldier with his own hands in front of the temple of Ra, and the inhabitants dispersed when they saw it.

Now the temple rape case is solved, but a bigger problem arises. There was a blow up in the Palchi barracks - a Yaki general actually took control of the Parchi barracks and kidnapped the soldiers to execute them, and the Parchians were indignant. Lead the troops to Brooks' station to get justice. Brooks did not show weakness, directing the Yaki minions to organize the defense. The two sides are tense and about to fight. Fortunately, at this time, Li Tianhao rushed to the scene of the incident.

Li Tianhao's arrival temporarily calmed the dispute, and the commanders of both sides were brought to Li Tianhao to argue the merits. After understanding what happened, Li Tianhao frowned: Although Brooks's action successfully quelled public anger, it was too bold and reckless. He said, "Lord Brooks, what do you explain about this?" ”

Brooks saluted and said, "This is to consolidate the rule in this area. ”

Li Tianhao raised his eyebrows: "I know that you are doing this to stabilize the hearts of the people, but you are acting too arbitrarily, leading troops to rush into the Palchi camp to arrest people, which is inevitably too public." ”

Brooks hesitated and said: "If this is not the case, the time drags on, the public anger will only grow, and the speed of transmission will get faster and faster, and the situation will be out of control, so there is not much choice in the future." Besides, if it weren't for the surprise, the soldier would probably be hidden by his commander, and the culprit would not be found by then, and the incident would have become more and more out of control. ”

"But doing so could lead to infighting in the military."

Brooks sneered: "Which is more important than military infighting or losing the hearts and minds of the people?" If your lord thinks that the army is your most important tool, you will not be able to rule the land! This is not the Dils Mountains, the people here worship the god Ra, not Amun, and although the religious contradictions are hidden below the water, in fact there is a raging undercurrent, which can hurt everything on the water at any time. In order to rule this region well, it is necessary to respect the religious beliefs of its inhabitants, and only by giving them this freedom can we talk about giving them other freedoms. Yaki's spies will find a way to incite similar incidents to inflate tensions between the populace and us, and we must be careful about this! In the next time, we will use the fastest and most severe means to deal with this matter, precisely to prevent the possibility of fermentation of this incident, and at the same time, it can also effectively curb the soldiers from making similar mistakes, so as to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents to the greatest extent! If the lord thinks that the way to deal with it is wrong, then the punishment is below! Because it is really a very cost-effective thing to be able to see a person's weight through one thing, and if you have the wrong vision and choose the wrong object of allegiance, no matter what punishment you deserve. ”

Li Tianhao quietly listened to Brooks's gushing speech, and then Huo Di stood up and shouted, "Brooks! You are responsible for what you have said! ”

Li Tianhao's momentum is by no means something that ordinary people can bear, it is a kind of compelling momentum that has been experienced on the stormy sea and the battlefield where flesh and blood are flying, but Brooks was unmoved, and said indifferently: "If you can help your lord to command your subordinates, then please continue, so that sooner or later your head will be planted on the wall of Ashtidon." ”

"Very good," Li Tianhao walked up to Brooks step by step, and said with a straight face: "What a man who is outspoken and daring!" With your knowledge, it is really wronged to let you be included and demoted. From today onwards, you will be my staff member and assist me in handling daily affairs together with Mr. Wei Song. I need your advice on the matter of Yaki's rule. ”

Brooks was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So how should this matter end now?" ”

Li Tianhao looked at him, then looked at the people around him, and then understood Brooks's intentions, and said, "Pass my order!" In the future, all those who rape and plunder the people in our army will be beheaded! It doesn't matter if he's a Palci or a Dilse or a Yaqui! Alike! As for today's events, the soldier deserves it, but he was beheaded before I gave the order, and he was given a double pension. Each of the soldiers who were knocked down by Brooks was given twenty silver coins as an apology, which was paid by Brooks himself. No one is allowed to talk about it again! ”

Brooks listened and hurriedly said: "I surrendered alone, and I don't have a fief of war achievements, where can I get the money to pay everyone?" ”

Li Tianhao looked at him and smiled, and said, "Then I will pay this money in advance, and then slowly deduct it from your money." ”

Brooks smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Lord enforces the law impartially, and he is very impressed. ”

Li Tianhao laughed when he heard this: "This is your own fault, you have participated in the group beating incident many times to escape, and I haven't fined you any money, is this also called a dime?" ”

Looking at Brooks' helpless appearance, Li Tianhao was full of joy, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that thanks to this accidental incident, he did not miss Brooks's talent. (To be continued......)
